This bakery has my heart! Their croissants are flaky, yummy, and absolutely worth the splurge. You can taste the love in every layer. And the coffee was just as delightful. Not the cheapest spot, but definitely the one that leaves you smiling.

This place is great!!! The baked goods are on the pricier side, but they’ve been made with a lot of care. Definitely a go to place if you enjoy croissants with A LOT of layers. I like their chai latte and chocolate bars as well.
There tends to be a long line in the afternoon and there are only a few tables available so you may have to wait.

The crossaints are excellent. They need to up their game with friendlier enthusiasm in customer service. It's a small place which makes the music they play very important in order to create a relaxing ambiance. They do not. The musical vibe is loud and annoying. They need to place different, relaxing genre of music because the place is so small inside they need a relaxing vibe of music to sit and relax. My Marines are so annoyed by the music they chose to plsy that sitting inside the cafe is nit an option. Not being able to enjoy their pastries because of it. My family of world travelers and are accustomed to what goes with the ambiance. Other than that, the crossaints are delicious.

I’ve never been to France but my assumption is that their croissants taste like a French croissant would. I got their popular chocolate croissant and it was amazing. Crispy and flaky in the outside and nice and buttery on the inside. The cocoa cloud was awesome too. Nice and chocolatey but not too sweet. The place lives up to his name.

The staffs were friendly, but they were talking and laughing quite loudly, which made the atmosphere a bit uncomfortable. I hope they can be a little quieter next time.

Probably one of the best chocolate croissants I’ve ever had! Incredibly flaky and the chocolate inside is incredibly smooth and rich. Decent latte as well.

Best chocolate croissant I have had in Pasadena/ LA area…. Not sure why they called it croissant it looks like a Pain au chocolat .. but when I asked what would u recommend ? they said chocolate croissant and pointed to what looked like a Pain au chocolat … so beside the name confusion it reminded me of the good croissant I had in Paris!! Delicious.. I am not exaggerating !! Can’t wait to go back!!

It’s rare to find a place that does both coffee and pastries this well. I actually drive here from Monrovia because there’s not too many shops like this. The almond croissants and honey almond danish are hands-down the best I’ve ever had, and honestly, every pastry I’ve tried has been amazing. The Coco Cloud Latte is a favorite too. You can taste the quality in everything they make. Expect a line and yes the prices are a little higher, but it’s worth every bit. Service-wise (aside from the line) there’s a guy at the front who is super awesome and friendly. Rest of the crew is a young staff. You can tell there’s real care and craft behind everything here. It’s become one of those places I always look forward to visiting.

This is hands down the best bakery in the LA area. The pastries are a bit on the pricier side but they’re some of the best I’ve ever had. The chocolate almond croissant is a must order. It comes with three dark chocolate batons inside. They have a pretty good rotation of seasonal danishes as well. We loved the choco-latte!

My absolute favorite croissant shop. Everything is crispy and flaky with rich buttery flavor. My favorites are the plain croissant, almond chocolate croissant, monkey bread, and kouign amann. Be prepared to wait because there’s usually a line, no matter what time you go.
